This is an argument I see a lot - just think and you will realize how right I am. It is often used in place of an evidence-based argument and is an appeal TO your logical brain FROM someone's emotional brain.
It always makes me uncomfortable, because it's not far from "search your heart/feelings" - the basis of any logic- or evidence-free argument. It also seems to have the negative undertone of "if you DON'T agree with me, you obviously can't "think" on my level."
It's not that there isn't evidence of Google being less-than savory - I would argue there is - but I'd research that argument first, not just appeal for emotional sympathies.
